+ | ====== Learn About: MARC Mapping Issues ====== | ||
+ | Inevitably, there will be data in MARC that will not map over to RDA, cleanly. Here we will list some of the trickier things we have encountered, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Outstanding Mapping Issues ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Extent quirks ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | When mapping a MARC bib record with more than one 300 into RDA, RIMMF3 will create a separate Extent statement for each 300, and then attempt to break down the 300 $a into ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The breakdown works reasonably well, but the resulting grouping of RDA elements needs some improvement. For example, if importing a MARC record with these fields: | ||
+ | |||
+ | 300 $a xiii, 273 pages : $b illustrations ; $c 28 cm | ||
+ | 300 $a 1 audio disc : $b digital ; $c 4 3/4 in. | ||
+ | |||
+ | RIMMF will generate an RDA construct something like this: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Until we can fix this problem, this import requires a bit of tidying up. The sub-elements that pertain to the audio content need to be dragged out of the first Extent statement and into the second one. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Drag ' | ||
+ | - Drag 'Type of unit' with 'audio disc' and drop it on top of the second Extent statement. | ||
+ | - Drag ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | // **NOTE** Depending on the RIMMF version, you might first have to remove the constraint placed on the sub-element. To do this, goto the **Options** menu and select **Remove element constraints** at the bottom of the menu. // | ||
+ | |||
+ | The desired result is shown here: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Save the record. Test the re-ordering of the elements by pressing < | ||
+ | |||
+ | This issue also illustrates some of the occurrencing problems we might run into in the future when we map out our MARC data to new formats. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== 600 with subdivisions ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | RIMMF imports a Bib 600 field as a link to a Person record, either imported from the NAF with other related Authority records, or created as a brief RIMMF record. | ||
+ | |||
+ | But if the 600 field contains subject subdivision subfields ($v$x$y$z) then RIMMF currently drops them. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Solution: We will have RIMMF map 600 as both a link AND a subject heading | ||
+ | |||
+ | Example: LCCN | ||
+ | |||
+ | 600 10 $a Brainard, Cecilia Manguerra $v Diaries. | ||
+ | 600 00 $a Ramakrishna, | ||
+ | 600 00 $a Bhajan, $c Yogi, $d 1929-2004 $x Teachings. | ||
+ | 600 00 $a Origen $v Congresses. | ||
+ | 600 10 $a Stow, William Hall $v Correspondence. | ||
+ | 600 10 $a Moore, Thomas Harrison $x Family. | ||
+ | 600 10 $a Cooper, CTM $q (Clementine Thompson Michael) $v Anecdotes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== 630 ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | We need to have RIMMF map 630 as both a link and a subject heading, as per the 600. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Example: LCCN | ||
+ | |||
+ | 630 00 $a Frozen (Motion picture : 2013) $v Juvenile literature. | ||
+ | 630 00 $a Blind men and the elephant $v Adaptations. | ||
+ | 630 00 $a Star-spangled banner (Song) $v Juvenile literature. | ||
+ | 630 00 $a Beowulf $v Adaptations. | ||
+ | 630 00 $a Bible. $p Pentateuch $x Authorship. | ||
+ | 630 00 $a Bible. $p Genesis, I, 26-27 $x Theology. | ||
